Summary

Banks High School is a public high school located in Banks, Oregon, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 387 students. The school is part of the Banks School District 13, which is ranked 72 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the years, Banks High School has experienced a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 22nd out of 308 Oregon high schools in 2011-2012 (with a 5-star rating) to 136th out of 270 in 2024-2025 (with a 2-star rating). This suggests that the school's performance has been declining relative to other high schools in the state. While female students have consistently ranked higher than male students, the performance of white students and students with special education needs has been more concerning.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Scappoose High School, Gaston Junior/Senior High School, and schools in the Beaverton and Hillsboro school districts, Banks High School generally underperforms in terms of statewide rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency. This suggests that the school may face additional challenges in supporting student achievement, potentially due to its relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
